Levo Gen 4 Specialized Gen 4 Levo - Official Thread

Still tempted by the frameset option. It looks like there is a hole that might be able to be used for a derailleur cable, but it's underneath the chainstay..
That fat downtube though..

S-Works Turbo Levo 4 Frameset

The Specialized Science Club Introduces the S-Works Levo 4, an electric mountain bike so advanced it transforms you into a cycling cyborg. Together you'...

Official vid from Specialized now on YT: The blurb at the beginning reminds me of "man and machine in perfect harmony" (who here is old enough to remember that?)

 

[notaninfluencer]

an alternative point of view....

 

[ckkone]

Glad it’s finally out, was expecting more after all the wait. They managed to make it better and worse than the outgoing model.

 

[Semmelrocc]

Looks great at first sight. No chunky motor any more.

 

[Pyr0]

@Rob Rides EMTB as you have an s-works available, can you see if it's possible to run a derailleur cable through the frame please?
Is the AXS power cable hole large enough?

Well, geo doesn't work too well for me, another bike doing the biggest jumps in the most statistically dense sizes, 455 is a touch too short for me, 480 is too big. Battery weight seems too high even though density is on par with Bosch.

"I was able to get around 23 miles of range and 4,000 vertical feet of climbing out of a full battery, and that’s using a mix of Turbo and Trail modes."
Again seems pretty poor...

After all the hype, my expectations were set too high hoping they might have made/paid for better battery density or a more efficient motor.

okay, all positive aspects for the last gen Levos are gone for me:

- Big downtube
- heavier
- brose motor can rattle now

 

[Ribinrobin]

I felt similar about the stumpy 15 looks wise but its a no for me. *clings to stumpy evo tightly*

 

[BikeBert]

As a Gen 3 owner, I refuse to drink the Specialized Kool-Aid. There's nothing “Super” about the Gen 4. It’s overhyped, overweight and late to the party. Pretty disappointing, to be honest.

I’ll keep my current pimped-out Levo with its freshly rebuilt motor until something genuinely revolutionary and reliable hits the market, ideally a belt-driven gearbox system from a reputable brand.

Nothing "supernatural" to see here.
Time to hit the trails.

 

[Biano44]

So the Levo's main competition is the Chinese Wonder Kid! Interesting.

 

[Mteam]

Looks like they missed they mark with this one, too heavy, not as powerful as dji, too expensive.

The Pinkbike review mentioned that a few bikes using the dji motor are going to be announced in the next few days.

 

[Flo7]

A little bit boring...

Just desperate at this point

Me, or them?

Comparing a €6500 bike to a €15000 bike seems a bit of a stretch.

Opinions are divided when it comes to the drive. The Avinox has noticeably more power and is also a little quieter. However, I find the Specialized motor somehow more harmonious and well-rounded. In terms of the bike itself, I think the Levo is clearly ahead in almost every respect, despite its higher overall weight.

 

[Ernes58]

For Spanish language

 

[Hob Nob]

That’s a lot of money for something pretty uninspiring & heavy.

Them featuring the amflow in their promotion.

 

[Nomadic Dad]

Crazy to think the alloy versions will be heavier again when they finally come out

with trail tire and 600wh and lighter part 19.9kg!

[B-man]

I cant make a final decision until I ride it. It checks all my boxes though.

 

[James_MTB]

I'm very disappointed. I've been buying the latest generation Levo since 2016, and I probably won't buy this one.

Far too heavy, plus the motor differences put me off.

 

[Rando_12345]

with trail tire and 600wh and lighter part 19.9kg!

I garantee that build doesn't ride much better than the Amflow, simply because it will have to make all the same tradeoffs to reach the weight.

 

[David666]

it’s a quite heavy bike compared to previous generation but at list tyres should be main impact (grid trail to grid gravity). I really would love a SL with 480wh built-in battery…

 

[Polar]

Specialized is back as the king of the mountain imo

 

[escrs]

Just seen this and im disapointed!

Im still riding my Gen 2 Levo, did think about upgrading but the Gen 4 puts me off for the following reasons


Two teir motor power, you have to buy the S works to get full power, seems a bit off to me, not sure why Spesh have done this and who's to say if you buy the Sworks for this reason and then later Spesh decide to release an update for the lower teir bikes upgrading them to the full power the S works has


The S works is now heavier than my gen 2 expert at 23.68kg


The battery is now fitted and removed from the side of the down tube rather than being slotted in from the bottom, doesnt look as nice

Yes it has a bit more power and a bigger battery but that dosent make up for the weight and two teir motor options

So it looks like this will be the first time i upgrade to a non Spesh e bike! which is a shame

 

[Purple parznip]

A mullet,again! No!
base model too expensive,no!
rear mech lower jockey wheel is seriously low,no!
just………… no
i was interested to see the launch of this,but its made my mind up not to buy one.

 

[Janisj]

The fast charger brick is not really mobile to take in backpack, hope there will be mobile version. The charging port is something new and bulky, could imagine the range extender plug might be broken away by bad landing...
